Preliminary Ratings: Sunday 07/17/2016

It was an easy nightly victory for ABC, on Sunday Night, as the network sweeps the night in the ratings. The only down side to ABC's victory was the second place finish in the 8 PM hour, behind BIG BROTHER and being edged out by 60 MINUTES in the 7 PM hour, for an encore airing of CELEBRITY FAMILY FEUD.
CBS was a distant second place, thanks mainly to BIG BROTHER. The reality series posted the nights best numbers in the three demographic categories. Its numbers bested the rest of the cumulative ratings of the other CSB programs on the night.

NBC edged FOX for the #3 spot of the night, as both networks aired all-encore line ups.
